A day before, Celina had shared several throwback pictures of herself with some famous transgenders like Gauri Sawant and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi on the occasion of International Transgender Day of Visibility. She wrote, “International Transgender Day of Visibility Mar 31, 2023 Some of the worlds bravest people are transgender people. I stand to fight all discrimination & violence against them & applaud their contributions to our world! #TransDayOfVisibility.”

Celina currently lives with her hotelier husband Peter Haag and their three sons in Austria. She often shares stunning pictures of herself from the scenic location. She was last seen in a short film titled Season's Greetings on ZEE5 in 2020.

In a 2020 interview to Hindustan Times, Celina had shared why she chose to leave Bollywood and settle abroad. She had said, "Most of the meaty parts, good roles and good films are reserved for people who have privileges, who either belong to a camp or come from a film family. When you are an outsider, you can try to push and do your best, but then comes a certain limit when you can’t do that anymore. So you have a choice to succumb to the bullying of people and not getting the right offers until you start believing that you are a failure. Or you move on in life and do other things. You recharge, rejuvenate, regenerate and come back again.”
